The point would be to avoid situations where a user has code that creates a group directory called "foo", and then in a future kernel release cgroups introduces a control file called "foo". If it's prefixed, then the user just has to avoid creating groups prefixed by "cgroup." or any subsystem name, so collisions will be less likely.
